Sorry, we've had it for four years now. And it's free here too. I think it's also "traditional" in
primitive societies.

Be very wary of using this drug. Tests have shown a high and often fatal toxicity in dogs.

Warning! Do not visit this page! It is sprinkled with cunningly crafted links whose psycho-active
subliminal properties are designed to overload the technical information processing capacity of the
unwary cyclist's cerebral cortex. No matter what you are initially looking for you will always end
up reading about the internals of obsolete Sturmey Archer hub gears.

Incidentally I understand that for maximum "performance enhanceming" the blue Product W capsules
work best.

A superior version of these pills, free from rampant side effects, have been widely available for at
least 50 years in the more civilized parts of the world under the street name 'Smarties'.

Typically, some giant American drug company has now tried to patent the very substance of life, add
some marketing hype and a little W to corner the world-wide market -- under the treat that we accept
these inferior products or George W will abuse the English language and send his strike force to
ensure our subjugation.

Anyone thinking these W's are harmless should just look at the sad case of Anthony Blair, resident
of a run down terrace house in Downing Street. Just a few months ago he was a youthful and vibrant
leader -- in those few months he has aged out of all recognition, lapsing frequently into platitudes
and George Dubba speak -- there is now no hope for him. And what these W's have done to Cherie Blair
are clearly horrible.

Resist American Imperialism -- eat Smarties.

ShelBroCo charged for false advertising claims.

Hidden amongst ShelBroCo's 'endorsement's for W's is this claim:-

What Athletes Say:

Runners: "I'm a runner not a bicyclist, but Product W works so well for me that many of my friends
call me "Dubya!" --G.W.B., Texas

This has been proven to be a false claim as it has been scientifically proven that G.W.B. of Texas
is incapable of putting together a coherent sentence that long!!

To be fair, Sheldon has included this warning on his promotional page:

-------------------------------------
Cautions Product W users should avoid operating heavy machinery while under its influence, but no
problem with light machinery. In the case of bicycles, it is only recommended for use with bicycles
weighing 22 pounds (10 kg) or less, for this reason.

Keep this product out of reach of children at all times.

**Product W is for human use only, and may be harmful to dogs.**

--------------------------------------------

The sugar and fat content of the pills illustrated could also give rise to problems.

As I'm posting this from the home city of Smarties (not to mention KitKats, Polos and the Terry's
Chocolate Orange), I'd be inclined to agree!

Instead of fending them off with your pump just let them have it with a bar of Bournville plain.

From uk.rec.gardening today:

----------------------

This from the letters page of the new May BBC GW mag:

A reader wrote in to emphasise the danger of using cocoa shell mulches in gardens with dogs.
Their local dog club had already confirmed a ***** dead due to eating cocoa shells. Apparently
their chocolate smell attracts the dogs, but they contain theobromine which even in small
quantities can kill a dog (so don't give one pieces from a human chocolate bar either, no matter
how much they beg!)

A manufacturer replied to the letter, saying there is a warning on the bags. How many of us read the
print on such things? They recommend using bark mulches instead.

Astoundingly enough, my recent John O' Groats to Lands End ride <yawn> was inadvertantly powered by
this product. It was passed to me by my employers, liberally sprinkled on a chocolate brownie (well,
a box of 24 to be exact!!) to cause me to believe I had been provided with a harmless snack. I
rationed myself to one a day and at no point did I come anywhere near to hitting any walls, bonks
(as we call 'em in the black country) or anything else that may have proven uncomfortable, despite
achieving 100+ miles for 8/10 days. I now realise it was due to this covert doping on behalf of my
employers !! (Note to self :- remember to thank employers and request more!!)

Regards,

Dave.

Beware!! Sheldon is having you on!! He lies I tell you, he lies!

I, helen s, hold my head up and say I am addicted to Product W. I am having to take special
medication of lots of mg of Mg to try to get me off the Product W. Due to Sheldon pedalling the evil
Product W, I am reduced to taking it one day at a time to stay of the evil stuff. I don't know how
long I can last until my next fix.

I've tried hiding my supplies of Product W in secret cubby holes in the house, but no matter how
hard I try, I find my kid pilfering my supplies. You evil purveyor of 'W' Sheldon - you are not only
getting we cyclists hooked - those of us who seek to lead an otherwise healthy lifestyle, you get
our kids hooked too. Whatever next Sheldon??? You'll be sellling direct to school kids after your
marketing types get you to put it in bright packaging. Beware Sheldon! He is bad I tell you! Bad!!!

As punishment you should be made to consume large quantities of dihydrogen monoxide, Sheldon, soak
in it too! That'll sort out you evil pusher of Product W! Turn your skin to soft wrinkly prune as a
side effect - that'll teach you!

Bad Sheldon!

In withdrawal, helen s

Also, there's the lesser known version referred to as a Treat. Beware when your spouse offers you a
treat at bedtime. You may not get what you hope for.

Cheers, helen s

He may have been bad but that is too extreme a punishment even for Sheldon.

Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every
year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of
dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue
damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a
bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become
dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death

Nasty nasty stuff. Join the campaign against it now - http://samsara.circus.com/~no_dhmo/

Those participating in the Clydesdale category of triathlons should also take note of the following:

"As can be clearly seen, when caffeine is metabolised in the body, it undergoes demethylation, at
the hexane 2 position, to reach theobromine."

And, more importantly:

"Caffeine can kill. Although this is not often realised, it does have a toxicity level, which varies
from person to person but is typically in the region 5 to 50 g. For comparison, a typical cup of
coffee contains approximately 100 mg of caffeine. This would mean needing to drink at least fifty
cups of coffee in one go for it to be toxic. It should also be noted that these are the toxicity
levels for humans. The levels for horses could be vastly different. Although it is not easy to say
whether they could ingest more or less, as their body weight is much greater, this might imply the
ability to ingest more. Caffeine is not a regular part of a horses diet where as for humans it is.
Therefore, this suggests humans may be more tolerant of caffeine."

Am I taking the p!ss? Categorically no, because theobromine is associated with diuretic responses.
